2017 FIAT 500L: What's New

Vehicle Overview

What it is: With four doors and seating for five, the 500L is a significantly larger vehicle than the two-door Fiat 500 and is comparable to the Mini Countryman. It also competes with Mitsubishi’s Outlander Sport and Volkswagen’s Tiguan, as well as compact hatchbacks like the Ford Focus. The 500L comes with front-wheel drive, but its platform is the basis for the Fiat 500X and Jeep Renegade subcompact SUVs, which are available with all-wheel drive.
New for 2017
Fiat has simplified the 500L lineup to three models: Pop, Trekking and Lounge. A six-speed automatic transmission is now standard.
